Started
off as a way to communicate with family and friends while i was away
on mission. turned into an outlet for my thoughts, web design, and personal
desire to combat negative media. but above all, my motive is Jesus...hence
the name. :)
jesus
motive
taken
from one of my favorite books, The Imitation of Christ, this
excerpt describes how in all actions, all thoughts and all things there
has to be a motive. and that motive should be Jesus. if only i lived
all things in my life for the motive of bringing myself & others
to Jesus, imagine how beautiful it could be! in every little thing,
ask yourself, "Why am i doing it?" If in the end that answer
points to Jesus, you will see that you...will be truly satisfied...and
that God will reveal and allow you to see true beauty in your life.
conform all your desires to the Lord's and He promises to grant you
that.
"You
must conform all your desires to My good pleasure and stop loving yourself,
and earnestly desire that My will be done. You frequently burn with
desires that powerfully impel you to action, but what is the motive
behind your actions? Is it My honor or is it your own self interest?
If I be the motive, then you will be satisfied with whatever I decide
for you; but if it be your own self interest, then this is what puts
the brake to your progress and slows you down." -- from The Imitation
of Christ: Thomas a Kempis
